Zora Neale Hurston is considered one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature. Hurston was closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance and has influenced such writers as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Gayle Jones, Alice Walker, and Toni Cade Bambara.

In 1975, Ms. Magazine published Alice Walker's essay, "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" reviving interest in the author. Hurston's four novels and two books of folklore resulted from extensive anthropological research and have proven invaluable sources on the oral cultures of African America.

Through her writings, Robert Hemenway wrote in The Harlem Renaissance Remembered, Hurston "helped to remind the Renaissance--especially its more bourgeois members--of the richness in the racial heritage." SOURCE: official web site of Zora Neale Hurston

My note: you taught me that WE, Black women, are the mules of the world. It's 2016 and that fact remains. We are the hardest working, most reliable people I've seen. The strength of our resolve in the face of adversity is a miracle placed in our hands by the Almighty. Your acknowledgment has enlightened us and we will keep working...only smarter as the years go by.
